Dickinson: 

I taste a liquor never brewed, 563

"Hope" is the thing with feathers, 564-65

There's a certain slant of light, 565

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, 566-67

A Clock stopped, 567

The Soul selects her own Society, 568-69

A Bird came down the Walk, 570

After great pain, a formal feeling comes, 571

This is my letter to the World, 575

I heard a Fly Buzz--when I died, 576

I like to see it lap the Miles, 578

The Tint I cannot take--is best, 580

The Brain--is wider than the Sky, 581

I dwell in Possibility, 583

On a Columnar Self, 586

At Half past Three, a single Bird, 589

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant, 590

My Triumph lasted till the Drums, 590

In Winter in my Room, 594-95

My life closed twice before its close, 596
